1911 .45 or sig m17 9mm

[zackmars]

I just sold a tricked out SIG 320 VTAC..and kept a Kimber Pro covert Carry custom shop ,45 1911
Friend it is like blondes or redheads.. either is an excellent choice.
I am 72 and the weight /size for comfortable carry came down on the Kimber side..either will obliterate the x ring at 25 feet and score tens at 50 with my old eyes and slightly less than "iron" stance.
the 9 is cheaper to shoot...and is new and sparkerly the 1911 ,45 is over 100years of polished class-

Choose your weapon! STANDBY....TARGETS! satisfaction and enjoyment with either lady!

9mm actually predates .45 by 1 or 2 years

45 makes bigger holes

Breaks down to threat assessment , if you anticipate multiple hostiles in a protracted "shootout" then mag capacity falls with the SIG, if threat is 3 or less up close then the .45 would be my choice. (I routinely practice 100 yards with my Kimber 1911)

Yes it does, however the Colt 1911 John Browning design is over 100 years of reliability and granted today's 9x21 is a more potent round than the 9mm Luger. As normal my wording could be improved and was ambiguous

What do you shoot best with. Available ammo and gear. What are you going to do with it. Etc…

As someone asked “What do you plan to do with it ?

Do you already have both calibers ?

Are you experienced w/ 1911’s ?

Which 1911 ?

Are you new to C C ?

If you don't already have a 1911 in 45ACP, go ahead and get one. Everyone should have at least one.

This.

Yes however I compared the 1911 .45 vs the SIG P320

Everyone should have a 1911 in 45acp and another in 9mm

WWJS What Would Jesus Shoot ? 1911 in .45acp the way he instructed John Browning to make it.
